Download or read book Mineral Rites written by Bob Johnson and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An archaeology of Western energy culture that demystifies the role that fossil fuels play in the day-to-day rituals of modern life. Spanning the past two hundred years, this book offers an alternative history of modernity that restores to fossil fuels their central role in the growth of capitalism and modernity itself, including the emotional attachments and real injuries that they generate and command. Everything about us—our bodies, minds, sense of self, nature, reason, and faith—has been conditioned by a global infrastructure of carbon flows that saturates our habits, thoughts, and practices. And it is that deep energy infrastructure that provides material for the imagination and senses and even shapes our expectations about what it means to be fully human in the twenty-first century. In Mineral Rites, Bob Johnson illustrates that fossil fuels are embodied today not only in the morning commute and in home HVAC systems but in the everyday textures, rituals, architecture, and artifacts of modern life. In a series of illuminating essays touching on such disparate topics as hot yoga, electric robots, automobility, the RMS Titanic, reality TV, and the modern novel, Johnson takes the discussion of fossil fuels and their role in climate change far beyond the traditional domains of policy and economics into the deepest layers of the body, ideology, and psyche. An audacious revision to the history of modernity, Mineral Rites shows how fossil fuels operate at the level of infrapolitics and how they permeate life as second nature.
Download or read book Understanding Your Mineral Rights and Oil Royalties Right Now written by Rita Laws and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet is meant as an introduction to what the layperson with mineral rights wants to know. There is a basic glossary, details about transferring a deed, negotiating a lease, understanding a division order, calculating net mineral acres, paying taxes for royalties and other income related to mineral rights, and selling mineral rights. This overview may help you decide what kind of help you need for the long term, and will give you tips for finding that help. My goal is to help the uninitiated avoid being scammed and low-balled by providing an overall review of processes and documents that mineral rights owners may eventually encounter. Trying to find a fair and honest deal is tough for the uninformed mineral rights owner, especially in states where the oil companies have a great deal of political power, and regulations are weak or scarce. I have been a go-to resource for my family on this topic since inheriting mineral rights almost 17 years ago.
Download or read book The Law and Governance of Mining and Minerals written by Ana Elizabeth Bastida and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a disciplinary matrix for the study of the law and governance concerning mining and minerals from a global perspective. The book considers the key challenges of achieving the goals of Agenda 2030 and the transition to low-carbon circular economies. The perspective encompasses the multi-faceted and highly complex interaction of multiple fields of international law and policy, soft law and standards, domestic laws and regulations as well as local levels of ordering of social relations. What emerges is a largely neglected, unsystematised and under-theorised field of study which lies at the intersection of the global economy, environmental sustainability, human rights and social equity. But it also underlies the many loopholes to address at all levels, most notably at the local level – land and land holders, artisanal miners, ecosystems, local economies, local linkages and development. The book calls for a truly cosmopolitan academic discipline to be built and identifies challenges to do so. It also sets a research agenda for further studies in this fast-changing field.
Download or read book Grasping at Independence written by Robert S. Weise and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By closely studying the strategic blend of land ownership, subsistence agriculture, and commerce, Weise reveals how white male farmers in Floyd County attempted to achieve and preserve patriarchal authority and independence - and how this household localism laid the foundation for the region's development during the industrial era. By shifting attention from the actions of industrialists to those of local residents, he reconciles contradictory views of antebellum Appalachia and offers a new understanding of the region's history and its people."--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil, gas and mineral deposits are a substantial part of the wealth of many countries, not least in developing and emerging market economies. Harnessing some part of that wealth for fiscal purposes is critical for economic development: in few areas of economic life are the returns to good policy so large, or mistakes so costly.
Download or read book Law and Regulation of Commercial Mining of Minerals in Outer Space written by Ricky Lee and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-05 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph addresses the legal and policy issues relating to the commercial exploitation of natural resources in outer space. It begins by establishing the economic necessity and technical feasibility of space mining today, an estimate of the financial commitments required, followed by a risk analysis of a commercial mining venture in space, identifying the economic and legal risks. This leads to the recognition that the legal risks must be minimised to enable such projects to be financed. This is followed by a discussion of the principles of international space law, particularly dealing with state responsibility and international liability, as well as some of the issues arising from space mining activities. Much detail is devoted to the analysis of the content of the common heritage of mankind doctrine. The monograph then attempts to balance such interests in creating a legal and policy compromise to create a new regulatory regime.

Download or read book The Appraisal of Mineral Rights written by MR Terrel L Shields and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-12 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Appraisal of Mineral Rights is a meant as a guide to valuing minerals, particularly oil and gas properties, as real property interests. Most valuation books related to mineral rights focus on setting values for industry specialists. Those emphasize the techniques that oil and gas professionals apply when creating documents for SEC filings, or internal valuation related to deciding which prospects to drill. This work is intended for the appraiser, the real estate agent, and the average mineral owner who needs a valuation that can be used for internal estate management, for valuation related to estate or income taxes, or to evaluate an offer made to purchase the mineral right. Such appraisals should conform to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) rather than be an engineering text. Portfolios of mineral rights, working interests, and over-riding royalty interests are intangible business interests. This book explores the passive interest of actual real property. It is the fee in mineral or the leased fee that is explained. The book starts with a brief history of petroleum valuation and the development of the techniques commonly applied to the appraisal of a mineral interest. It breaks down the legal and appraisal terminology into simple explanations. The lease is dissected and each part of lease terminology is explained. Pooling and divisions of interest are explained. The more technical aspects of valuation are reserved for the last half of the book applying the standard appraisal approaches to value in addition to the application of methodologies unique to minerals. The author ends the book with his commentary on the boom - bust cycle of oil exploration and an exploration of the relationship between earthquakes and fracking.
